Excited for Netflix’s “3 Body Problem?” – Check Out Chinese Adaptation “Three-Body” on Rakuten Viki
Last week, Netflix revealed a first look trailer at their upcoming sci-fi epic 3-Body Problem. If you’re looking to check out a different version ahead of its March debut, Rakuten Viki, a leading destination for Asian content, has the 2023 Chinese adaptation of the novel available to stream here.
Based on a hit sci-fi novel Liu Ci Xin named “The Three-Body Problem,” Three-Body follows Wang Miao (Zhang Lu Yi), one of China’s leading nanomaterials experts. Shi Qiang (Yu He Wei) is a police detective who specializes in counterterrorism. Shi Qiang has learned of strange happenings that began taking place in the scientific community many years ago, leading to the apparent suicide of a number of leading researchers – and is determined to get to the bottom of this case. Shi Qiang enlists Wang Miao to help investigate. Wang Miao agrees, but soon begins to learn about a secret organization named The Frontiers of Science, apparently fronted by the mysterious scientist Shen Yu Fei (Li Xiao Ran). He also starts to get to know an elderly astrophysicist named Ye Wen Jie (Chen Jin), the mother of one of the now-dead scientists. As Wang Miao digs deeper, he makes remarkable discoveries about events from the past, as well as a strange online virtual reality game named “Three-Body.” Could playing this unusual game help him and Shi Qiang unlock the secrets of the suicides – and learn what The Frontiers of Science is really up to?
